Why does my Wii U keep trying to download a system update, did a new system update come out?

I'm already on the latest version, 5.5.6 U, as far as I'm aware. I have updates blocked so that's why it's not downloading. Does this have something to do with the Nintendo Network servers getting shut down on Monday? Because I'm trying to access Course World on Super Mario Maker one last time before the official Nintendo Network servers shut down and it isn't working.

At random intervals the WiiU goes online to check if there is a new update. As you are blocking updates the WiiU can't complete its check. This is meant to happen.

Or in other words everything is working as it should lol.

That's just an indicator that your dns block works as it should.

It's normal when you have updates blocked, it's just showing that the update check failed.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
